The Hotwire Quickdraw has everything I need for a sport rack at the right price: wire-gate bottom carabiner and a wide-ish Dyneema dogbone (lightweight!). There are fancier "uber" sport racks, like the Spirit or Firewire and slightly lighter draws, however, you'd be paying a lot more for an extremely a specialized quickdraw.
